Watch our four-part series on Public Governance and Civic Engagement, bringing together the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA)’s Grand Challenges work and the recent American Academy of Arts & Sciences report, Our Common Purpose: Reinventing American Democracy for the 21st Century, which was the product of a two-year bipartisan Commission on the Practice of Democratic Citizenship to study political and civic life around the country. The four sessions covered topics such as civic culture, media, and trust in government.
